I thought I heard he was from Texas. Oh well. I was wrong on that. But the list of Texas QBs that went out of state is nuts.

Seems a bit much but its pretty obvious they are WAY overrated.

Matthew Stafford was pretty good.
Yup. Even Blaine Gabbert was a good college quarterback. And let's not forget that RG3 was a Texas guy that may have stayed in state but went to a Longhorns rival.

How the hell is Baylor ranked 5th in the AP? I guess dropping double nickels on the powerhouse known as Kansas will do that?

There is also that manziel fella.

Blugold,
Have you ever looked at all the stars and what states they come from? TX and FL seem to produce the majority every single year. You cant keep all of them when every school in the country is trying to recruit from the same 2 states.

Auburn is 8th in the AP, 11th in the coaches. I guess Auburn's win against FAU convinced the coaches that they were better than Tampa, even if the heads up win didn't.

That has been the case the past 3 years, but before that their last 2qbs were McCoy and Young.
I blame Garret Gilbert
I guess my point is that in such a talent rich recruiting base, why is there such a big gap.

Couldnt you say the same thing about Florida, FSU and Miami? Three of the most dominant teams of the last 3 decades.
Because they signed Garret Gilbert the Gatorade player of the year and consensus top quarterback. They passed up on RG3 and manziel because of it
I wish I had a good answer for you. I know that CFB goes in cycles.
Oops.

There is no answer. Every school in the country wants the athletes that FL and TX offer. Every school gambles on athletes and Texas signed the most sought after prize in the land at QB. You cant take every player. Winston was a miss, by them, but the other two really werent. QB has not been an issue the last decade.
Lots of people missed on Manziel including Sumlin.
I like it;

Baylor at 5 is a joke.
They play a tough schedule.

I guess Clemson should have played that SEC juggernaut Florida Atlantic last weekend. Hilarious.
At at this point, rankings don't mean a whole lot for Clemson. If they win out, they likely play in the Sugar Bowl. If not, they're probably back in the CFA bowl. FSU probably wins out, but they certainly won't lose twice. So, there's zero chance of Clemson winning the ACC.
Since there's no playoff, this is basically what is left for Clemson.
